which every i get will not really matter |

It does matter. You're asking if the price is worth it. Cutting a new glass for a machine that doesn't have one will run you $40 to $70. |

Okay, Now i see there is more to it. I have check few place by giving them a call and so far i have tried to ger ripoff. One guys told me he will sell me the cabinet for 230 dollars. i am not willing to spend that amount on a cabinet only. Anywasy tomorrow Friday i am not working i will be doing some search. I guess Here in LA california no one has any or build mame arcades. I have check on ebay an no luck all out of state. I see that the glass is expensive. |

Hi Guys here are the pics of the arcade i have gone and check. One of them is NEOGEO cabinet with the glass and few scratch on it and the other one is area 51 cabinet. The NEoGeo is 100 dollars and the area 51 is 125 with the guns. Should i keep looking or this will do. |

My advice is not rush out and find a cab but do a lot or research here before you jump in. There are a lot of cabs in and around Los Angeles. If you buy the first thing you run across odds are that you are going to be disappointed. If you find out what the monitor is worth, what the controls are and what they cost, heck what a coin mech is and does the machine have em? Are you going to mame it? If so how? What parts? Jamma? What monitor? Salvage the one in teh cab or add your own? Does the one you want to put in fit? If you want any hope of doing this right you will NEED to know.. not have to rely on anyone's opinion. Those pics are hard to look at BTW. Cell phones make bad cameras. |
